Turn Me On: Derek and Amanda (Man of the Month Book 7) Page 10
It was that chemistry that had almost kept him from taking this assignment.
And it was that chemistry that had convinced him to go for it.
Bottom line, he didn’t trust anyone else to keep her safe. So he was on her. Twenty-four hours a day. Just not on her.
“Wait here,” he said, then moved slowly through the place, his weapon at the ready just in case. He checked each room, each closet, each nook and cranny. Nothing.
“Taylor?”
“I’m here. I’m good. But can you—ah!”
He was back by her side in an instant. “What?”
He’d left her by the closed front door, and he arced the gun, covering the full interior. Nothing.
“Maybe you imagined it?”
But even as he asked it, a small tabby cat leaped from the top of the refrigerator, making Landon step forward to get out of its way—and Taylor to jump toward him, obviously not realizing the threat was only a cat.
She ended up in his arms, her soft body pressed against his. Her curves welcome after so long a dry spell. He told himself no. He told himself all the reasons it would be a bad idea. He told himself he was a fool and an idiot and that he’d regret it in the morning.
All of the words pounded through him. But so did the heat of her body. So did the rise and fall of her chest.
“Landon.” His name on her lips sounded like sin.
That was it. That was all it took for him to push every scruple aside. To break every rule he’d set for himself. And with one violent action, he pulled her tight against him, bent his head, and captured her mouth with his.

Shake It Up: Chapter One
There are a million reasons why I need to stop thinking about Taylor D'Angelo naked.
She's too young for me, for starters.
She's too ambitious.
She's my job.
Romance was the last thing on my mind when I agreed to look into her stalker as a favor.
Now, she's all I can think about--and in every position I can imagine.
I'm not the only one obsessing.
The threats against her are intensifying along with our connection.
If I give in, if I let our bodies take over, it could draw her stalker out.
Our passion could save her.
Or it could destroy us both.
Meet Mr. August … he’ll do anything to protect her.

Born in Darkness
Fight and redeem myself … refuse and suffer an eternity of torment.
I intended to kill him—to avenge my sister by destroying the vile human who’d tortured and broken her. My plan was simple. Foolproof.
Except somehow I ended up dead.
Now the joke’s on me, because I’ve been resurrected as an assassin and given a choice: Fight the forces of darkness and redeem myself … or refuse and suffer an eternity of torment.
The choice seems clear. But I’m unprepared for the depth of the evil I must face. And I’m unsettled by my attraction to the darkly sensual man whose words seduce me, but who is hiding secrets of his own.
All I know is what I’m told. I’m afraid I’m a pawn in a much larger game where I can’t tell my enemies from my allies. I just hope it’s a game I can win.
Down On Me
With his tight muscles and vibrant ink, certified bachelor Reece Walker is the kind of man who’s used to having any woman he craves in his bed—except Jenna Montgomery. She’s been his best friend for years, and that’s a line he just can’t cross.
Until a wild, stolen kiss changes everything. Now anything goes, and Reece is determined to use every wicked skill in his sensual repertoire to claim Jenna as his friend, his lover, his everything.
Carpe Demon
Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret ... she used to be a Demon Hunter for a secret arm of the Vatican. Now retired, she's more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Wal-Mart, she tells herself it's some other Hunter's problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option.
Now Kate has to kick a little demon butt, figure out why the creatures are trying to take her out and take over her home town, and at the same time take care of her 2 year old, deal with a hormonal 14 year old, get the family to Catholic Mass on time, and try to keep her past a secret from her daughter and her husband.
She's a little out of practice, but hey ... if she can juggle two kids and an impromptu dinner party, ridding the town of demons should be a piece of cake. Like the saying goes, Carpe Demon ... and Kate intends to do just that.
So (Very!) Much More than
the Girl Next Door
With her X-ray vision and super-senses, Zoe Smith is about as far from normal as a girl can get—and she intends to stay that way. Half-mortal and half-superhero, Zoe is determined to help save the world. But first she has to pass her upcoming tests and avoid having her memory and powers erased through “mortalization.”
An ex-cop turned private investigator, George Taylor craves a normal life with a normal wife in a normal neighborhood. The typical American dream—and when he meets Zoe Smith, he’s certain she’s one-hundred percent “the girl next-door”.
With her super powers, Zoe can do just about anything … except make Taylor fall in love with her. For that, they’re both going to need a different kind of magic …
